Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 8, 1818 (Czech National Authority Database; Biographisches Jahrbuch und Deutscher Nekrolog; BnF authorities) or November 8, 1821 (Integrated Authority File) or in 1818 (MAK; SHEWROTE; opac.vatlib.it; Integrated Authority File; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology; Trove).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
